Cycling day trip from Andermatt to Chur

This epic ride starts in the alpine village of Andermatt, perched high in the Swiss Alps and famed as a crossroads for some of Switzerland’s most legendary mountain passes. You’ll pedal through approximately 117 km of jaw-dropping scenery, with a whopping 4,250 meters of total climbing—so bring your climbing legs and maybe an extra energy bar or two!

Much of the route flows over quiet mountain roads and gravelly stretches, giving you a front-row seat to Switzerland’s dramatic peaks, lush valleys, and the occasional herd of friendly cows. Expect long, rewarding climbs, thrilling descents, and maximum elevation teasing just over 2,000 meters. It’s mostly paved, but a good chunk is gravel—so wider tires and a spirit for adventure will serve you well.

The journey finishes in Chur, Switzerland’s oldest city, with charming old-town vibes and a rich Roman history. Kick back in one of its cozy cafés—you’ve definitely earned it after this high-altitude rollercoaster. This route promises challenge, beauty, and a hearty dose of Swiss magic!
